Too much time spent on not really knowing what's going on,

Here but wanting to be there,

There but worrying if I care,

Flirting on the peripharies of fitting,

Electricity rises up in my brain where frustration reigns,

Dishonest pockets grow and grow with the weight of days,

Until I am left with a lifeless gaze.

Wait for the narcotic niceties to be over

My birthday is over and it's time to release the stress

It has taken so long

Doubling up the pretence puts pressure on the present

Downstairs you carry out the Birthday autopsy
